I have been on a roll making lots of baby quilts. I like to keep several on hand for presents and my girls like to give my quilts as presents. Today's blog post are the baby quilts I have made over the last three months.
First off a boy quilt. Some polar bear fabric and using my gray stash fabric makes an cute and easy quilt.
Next a pink and white quilt which the pink and pattern came in my Sew Sampler box
Number three came from the Sew Sampler box, too. This one was a Moda Pre-cut called Jolly Bars and a booklet was included in the box also.
Next up my old stand-by pattern, Colorblock Quilt (pattern here). This quilt has been gifted, to a coworker's grandson. The fabric came from my local quilt shop just before she closed. I did quite a bit of shopping that last month and I have a nice selection of quilting fabric!
I used all the scraps I had left and made the binding from those scraps.
Now for the next to the last quilt, another girl one and the fabric came from Sew Sampler Box again.
I found the pattern in one of my books but sorry I don't remember it.
This is a very soft and pastel quilt with not much hue variation in the color families.
Lastly, this one is from a fat eighth bundle from Sew Sampler again. I found this pattern on Pinterest and didn't save it. I really am going to have to take better notes! Sorry
I had this one quilted in a hexie pattern, finding inspiration from the top corner above and the cute hexie fabric.
I have a nice selection now but still need more boy quilts. The other night I could not sleep and headed to my sewing loft. Instead of turning on the machine, I just got out my quilting books and my fabric. The books provided inspiration and I started cutting quilts, baby and queen size quilts. I have them nicely organized in storage containers. These containers make it easy to pull out a project for home or on Wednesday nights with my sewing friends.

These are such cute quilts. Like you I sew both quilts and garments making quilts as an easy break from sewing fitted garments. For me, it's all about the fabric so there's no fancy/heirloom quilts coming out of my studio. Your girls are so lucky they can count on you to have a ready stash of baby quilts. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely baby quilts. Like the quilting on them too
ReplyDeleteThey are all so pretty. I love the simple blue and white one. Sometimes the simplest patterns are so pretty.
